“What am I doing again?” Pete looked from the battered pick-up truck to his boss again.

“All you have to do is go pick up some boxes to store artifacts.”

“Why don’t you make the boxes?”

“These are for the artifacts that don’t work in the neutralizing solution. I don’t have enough time for woodworking and all the research…” Artie shook his head. “It’s just easier to source it out. Thankfully, the talent is local. Same state in fact. It’s a nice drive. You’ll enjoy it.”

“Is that a fact?” Peter asked.

“Yes. Go to this GPS location and tell Bobby that you’re the new guy. You give him the cash and he’ll have enough boxes to fill the back of the pick-up. He’ll help you pack everything safely. Do what he tells you to do.”

“And if I don’t?” Pete taunted.

“Then you’ll be a dead idjit.”

“You’re not telling me everything.”

“Nope.”

Pete shook his head. “I hate when you do that.” Pete finally smiled at him. “It’s not that bad. You’re just hazing me.”

Artie smiled, like a father whose son had said something brilliant. “Am I?” Artie encouraged Pete’s use of his ‘vibe.’

“Why cash?”

“Because the government doesn’t want any paper trail and doesn’t want to know where I get the boxes from and Bobby doesn’t want any paper trail and doesn’t want the government knowing anything about him.”
